Hey @HerrMay,
Thanks for reaching out. Nice catches. I was hoping chatGPT might be able to help out but it couldn't get me all the way there. I tried your script but found it only deposited a Null object at the top of the project manager but did not connect+delete the SDS objects. They do exist under a grouped null but as you mentioned searching through parents and children should resolve that. Any thoughts?

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script that will scan the full c4d file and auto connect + delete all subd objects.

This is what I've written so far but it doesn't seem to find any subd objects, please help:

import c4d

def main():
    c4d.gui.MessageDialog("Running the main() function...")

    # Get the active document
    doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()

    # Initialize counters for number of Subdivision Surface objects and number of Subdivision Surface objects that were connected and deleted
    ss_count = 0
    ss_cd_count = 0

    # Get a list of all objects in the document
    objs = doc.GetObjects()

    # Loop through all objects in the document
    for obj in objs:
        # Check if the object is a Subdivision Surface object
        if obj.GetType() == c4d.Osubdiv:
            # Increment the Subdivision Surface count
            ss_count += 1

            # Select the Subdivision Surface object
            doc.SetActiveObject(obj, c4d.SELECTION_NEW)

            # Connect and delete the object
            new_obj = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT, [obj], c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL, doc, c4d.BaseThread())
            if new_obj is not None:
                # Increment the Subdivision Surface Connect and Delete count
                ss_cd_count += 1

                doc.SetActiveObject(new_obj[0], c4d.SELECTION_NEW)
                c4d.CallCommand(12109) # Delete command ID
                doc.SetActiveObject(None, c4d.SELECTION_NEW)

    # Display the counts in message dialog boxes
    msg = "Found {} Subdivision Surface objects.".format(ss_count)
    c4d.gui.MessageDialog(msg)

    msg = "Connected and deleted {} Subdivision Surface objects.".format(ss_cd_count)
    c4d.gui.MessageDialog(msg)

    # Update the document
    c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

I have 3 subd objects in my scene and it does not detect any of them. So I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Thanks in advance!
